Coinciding with the digital and physical releases, Joy (Olivia Colman) and Mully (Charlie Reid) start their chaotic joyride in the newly released clip.
In the clip uploaded toComingSoon.net, Joy finds herself driving fast through the road officers when Mully begins to yell and ask for help, giving the impression that Joy has someone captive in her trunk.

Struggling to embrace theconcept of motherhoodwhile suffering from post-partum depression, a runaway teenager, Mully, attempted to steal her taxi before realizing that he wasn’t alone all along. The 12-year-old boy is still mourning his mother’s death while dealing with a father who is interested in the money he has raised for charity. With similar vulnerabilities, the two must arrive at their respective destinations, quickly forming a bond as they cross the Irish countryside.
